Trump Refuses to Apologize to Pope Leo After Social Media Controversy

U.S. President Donald Trump has refused to apologize after criticizing Pope Leo, the head of the Catholic Church, over his stance on the war in Iran. The controversy intensified after Trump shared an AI-generated image portraying himself as Jesus, before later deleting it and claiming he believed it depicted him as a doctor. The dispute comes as Pope Leo continues to call for peace, urging global leaders to prioritize dialogue over conflict. Speaking during a mass and ahead of a tour across Africa, the pope emphasized reconciliation and said he has “no fear” of the Trump administration. Despite backlash, Trump doubled down on his criticism, saying he has “nothing to apologize for.” The clash highlights growing tensions between political leadership and religious voices on issues of war, diplomacy, and global peace.
